Macports with Xcode CLI tools only

macportsxcode

I ve installed the latest version of MacPorts and Xcode CLI tools for OS X 10.10 – I don't want download 4GB of data because I need only GCC.
Everything looks fine – I can download and compile ports, except the one thing – every time when I try to install new port I get following messages:

Warning: xcodebuild exists but failed to execute
Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.

But as I said before everything works fine. Should I worry or just ignore these messages?

You might be lucky and ports work :)

I think the latest I saw in the mailing lists is that most ports will work. The issue is for GUIS and there other issues.

Note that Xcode for OS X 10.10 does not supply gcc, it uses clang. However this works just as well if not better.
